Independent Living Communities in Garland, TX

"I was very impressed. It was beautiful, and I enjoyed the tour. The staff who assisted me could not be nicer. The apartment was very nice, and I was impressed. There was a large atrium with all of the units around it. The apartment that I looked at was a 2-bedroom with large rooms, a beautiful living room/dining room combination, and a large kitchen. I met the chef, and he gave me a dinner package to go home with, which was very good. It had covered parking and valet parking."

"I chose The El Dorado for myself because of the location. I liked how it's laid out. The atmosphere suits me quite well. The rooms are very nicely sized. The studios are big. I felt like I belonged there. The dining area is very much like an upscale restaurant."

"I toured The Reserve at North Dallas. The apartments were very new, with huge closets and big rooms. The kitchen was very nice with some granite countertops. They had some good choices of food. And if you didn't like what they were serving, they had other food available for you that you could get, kind of what they always have. The outside was nice. The places, community rooms, and community spaces looked nice, along with all the activities they provided, and there were lots of choices. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, had lots of great information, was very friendly, and took the time. The residents were nice. Some of them were sharing their stories and what they liked about them. So, that was good too."

"My mother is at The Forum at Park Lane. She was already in independent living with a sister placement and she just wanted to continue with them. She's doing well there and they're wonderful to her. They have been good to work with as we're helping her adjust. She loves the food and she's not loved the food everywhere she's been. That's important for a senior whose life is limited. They have incredible menus to choose from. They have helpers where she pushes the button and they come to help her and they're pretty quick about it. Of course, they could be busy with someone else and she might have to wait, but most of the time, they're quick and they come to help her with whatever her needs are. They have concerts every week and they have games and things. It's expensive, but it's not as expensive as some others we looked at."

"I visited Meadowstone Place. It was wonderful. I saw a beautiful apartment, a beautiful pool, gym, and they served me a beautiful lunch. The staff was wonderful. I met a few people. I met the chef and the director. Everybody was nice and professional. The rooms are very comfortable and very nice. It has hardwood floors and has a private balcony."

"I liked the Tradition - Lovers Lane very much. I looked at independent living. I think by the time I move I may go into assisted living, but I loved it. The rooms were very nice. They had an art studio because I paint. Everything was very clean and neat. I have not had a meal there, but I hear the food is very good. I haven't really met anybody or had anything to eat there, but I was impressed. I liked everything. Why I really looked there is because it was right next to Central Market and I love Central Market. The woman who toured me couldn't have been nicer. I met a couple of people who work there and they were very nice, too. She was excellent. She asked all the questions, and she showed me everything that I was interested in."

"We toured Liberty Heights Gracious Retirement Living. They were very informative. It had a beautiful facility, and the whole staff was caring. Larry was very helpful and informative. He even offered us to stay for lunch or come back for dinner one day. The facility was very clean, modern, and had something for everybody. They have a library, physical therapy, and a gym. You name it, they have it there."

"We're very happy with Edgemere. It's very clean. The people are pleasant. They take good care of us. The meals are good. Maintenance and housekeeping are all good. They have a Bible study that we go to. They have a lot. We do movies and stuff. It's worth the money."

"We toured the independent living facility of Atria Canyon Creek in Plano, and it was very pretty. It has a ton of trees and greenery, it was very clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I didn't see many of the residents there, but the person who gave the tour was very nice. She gave us all the information we wanted. When we asked about something else that she wasn't necessarily prepared for, like they didn't ask me over the phone, so I asked while I was there, she was just able to show me a different apartment that we liked, and she was able to do that seamlessly without it being a problem, so she was knowledgeable. She was super sweet, too. A resident asked her for help, and she went in and helped. They have a beauty salon, and they have some physical therapy. If you want to have it, they can come on-site, and they have a place for that. They also offer transportation within 10 miles."

"We toured Emerson On Harvest Hill. It was very nice. The location was good. The staff was very friendly, and so were the people staying there. We did have lunch, and the lunch was pretty good. The facility seemed clean. I have no complaints about it. It was a very nice tour, and the person who gave the tour was very friendly, showed us everything that we were interested in, and answered all our questions to our satisfaction. The dining area was nicely set up. We sat down, and they brought the food to us. It was nicely laid out. The staff was very nice, and got the food on time."

"My mother is staying at The Waterford at Plano. They're very friendly and very caring. It's a very clean place. She has a large one-bedroom apartment on the second floor. It's really wonderful and helpful. They have a lot of activities, a library, a piano, a dining room, and that includes food. They have TV rooms, game rooms, and activity rooms. I looked around and that seemed like the best place and I really liked the place. It's a great value."

"Belmont Village Turtle Creek had very large apartments, but it was very expensive. The staff who toured me was nice. It was a very nice facility, and I liked where it was located."

"We moved into Solstice Senior Living at Plano. Everyone here is very friendly and outgoing. Generally, I like the people here. The ones that are in charge are really concerned about our welfare, really caring, and interested in how we feel and what's going on with us. Our room is comfortable, adequate, and nice. We haven't had any bad food yet at all. It's very good. It's very comfortable, clean, warm, and inviting."
